They also serve as an anchor for many other plants so you can grow a lovely garden underneath a palm tree. If you are looking for something that has commercial value, then you can plant a date palm and harvest its fruit.

Trees Price

Palm trees are quite durable, but they take quite long to grow as well. Caring for a palm tree can be quite difficult and it takes years to grow a small palm tree. With certain species, such as the date palm, this period is even longer. For this reason, a palm tree will generally cost more than the typical garden tree. However, it is well worth it as many palm trees will help you save on maintenance costs in the future. They can survive in hot climates and have an excellent resistance to disease. You can even leave a palm tree without water for weeks and it will survive. This makes the price well worth it.

Variety

When choosing which palm tree to buy, you should consider the different varieties of palms before making a choice. Some types of palm trees are hardier than others and will likely survive only in very hot areas. Others are more suited to a tropical climate. However, most palm trees are adaptable, which makes them perfect for growth in any climate. You should also buy a tree that has moved out of the sapling stage as larger plants are easier to care for. Some varieties, such as the date palm, produce fruit which could be of commercial value so you should keep this in mind as well when deciding which palm tree to buy.

Palm Tree Different varieties:

**(Phoenix dactylifera):**

Date palm scientifically named as Phoenix dactylifera is one of the best-known date palms in the UAE. Date palm is the tall evergreen trees with slender trunk having feather-like fronds that can grow 3-5m in length. It is one of the largest cultivated plants especially in UAE, Dubai where its food is often traditional staple food and also a source of syrup, alcohol, and vinegar. It is green when unripe but fruit color changes to yellow, golden, brown, red, and black when ripen. They can easily grow in well-drained soil in the presence of the sun. They can tolerate a wide range of soil conditions. For fast fruiting hot dry conditions are the best. They don’t need regular pruning and can give full production within 5-8 years.

**Canary Island Date Palm (Phoenix Canariensis):**

Phoenix Canariensis is a slow-growing evergreen plant with a plump trunk having rich green fronds. It is a drought and salt-tolerant palm tree. It tolerates significant winter cold. In warm regions of the world like Dubai, UAE it is one of the most widespread palm trees. That makes a great street tree and specimen palm. It can easily grow in fertile medium moisture in the presence of the sun. It doesn’t require regular pruning but damaged leaves need to be cut. This plant can grow up to 12-18m in an upright position and 6-12m wide.

Washingtonia Palm (Washingtonia robusta):

Washingtonia Palm is a hardy fast-growing plant that provides a big tropical landscape. Once they established they are moderately salt and drought tolerant. They can grow up to 100ft in the presence of moderate sunlight and regular watering. They should be at least 6-8ft away from the home to give room for their fronds to grow. This plant is too big and too fast to make a good container plant. Washingtonians are happier in a less humid climate than ours, so pick a sunny, well-drained place where the palm will get good breezes. Soil amendments aren’t really necessary. Watering on a regular basis with time to dry out between watering will keep the palm looking its best. Fertilize in spring, summer, and fall with a good palm fertilizer containing micronutrients. Beware of the sharp teeth on the palm’s leaf stems.

**Coconut palm (Cocos nucifera):**

This coconut palm tree is not only ornamental but one of the most economically important palms especially for countries like the UAE, Dubai, etc. It consists of a smooth gray trunk and has long feathery fronds. Show happy growth in the warmer region and can grow up to 50ft. It will begin to produce nuts when it’s about 6 to 8 years old, fruiting at random times throughout the year. The nuts themselves take about a year to ripen. They are salt-tolerant and perfect for beachside plantings. Plant well away from the house – at least 10 feet – to allow the long fronds room to flush out. This palm tree is not a good candidate for a container…it’s much happier outdoors in your sandy soil. Fertilize three times a year – once each in spring, summer, and autumn.

**Queen palm (Syagrus romanzoffonia):**

Everything you love in landscape palm you will find in queen palms like a fast-growing habit, moderate tolerance for cold, drought and salt, and a tropical look. They have a single trunk usually gray in color with glossy fronds. Queens are fast growers, reaching heights of 40 feet. They’re not choosy about light conditions, performing well in full sun to partial shade. This palm tree should be planted with topsoil or organic peat moss added to the hole. These aren’t self-cleaning palms, though dead fronds will drop off eventually – a plus when the palm is too tall to hand-trim. Fertilize in spring, summer, and fall with a quality granular fertilizer containing micronutrients.

**Foxtail palm (Wodyetia bifurcata):**

This enchanting foxtail palm is very popular for its self-cleaning habit, perfect proportion, and rounded fronds. A tropical showstopper in the landscape, the foxtail is available in single or multi-trunk specimens. Its smooth gray trunk is topped with a bright green crown shaft and big tufted fronds that resemble the bushy tail of a fox. Foxtails are fast-growing trees that can grow up to 30ft. These palms like plenty of sunshine and they’re moderately drought-tolerant once established, though a regular watering is ideal. Fronds are large on this palm, so plant a single specimen at least 8 feet from the house to allow the head of the palm room to flush out without fronds being damaged.

**Alexandar palm (Pytchosperma Elegans):**

Alexander’s palm is a larger palm but can be used in smaller spaces because of its sleek and elegant form. Sometimes it is called “Solitaire palm” because it grows only in one trunk. Self-cleaning palms like the alexander are highly prized for ease of care since aged fronds fall off by themselves. Fruit produced by a mature palm is a good food source for birds. They prefer full sunlight and can grow up to 20-25 feet. They do their best in warmer areas. Fertilize three times a year – in spring, summer, and autumn – to keep the fronds full and deep green. Since it’s self-cleaning, you won’t have to worry about removing dead fronds when the palm is tall. If you’re planting a row of alexanders, place them 5 or 6 feet apart.

Royal Palm (Roystonea regia):

It is thought of as one of the most beautiful palm trees in the world. Because of their eventual mammoth size, royals are best used in larger landscapes with bigger houses so they fit the scale of their surroundings. It will show maximum growth in full sunlight and can grow up to 80ft. This is a moderately salt-tolerant palm, and it’s moderately drought-tolerant as well, once it’s established, though it will benefit from regular watering. Royals are self-cleaning – dropping old fronds on their own. Space these palms 8 to 10 feet apart when planting in a row. This palm is too big for growing in a container.
